Thus spake Jonathan A. Zdziarski (jonathan () nuclearelephant com) [08/01/04 14:35]:
Lack of features != security
In the past three years, I have used (for longer than a period of two weeks): - Eudora 5/6 - Outlook - Outlook Express - Thunderbird - Netscape Mail - Evolution - KMail - TheBat! - elm - pine - mutt - I continue to use webmail apps on and off And mutt is, by far, the cleanest and most feature-rich MUA in the list. TheBat! comes in at a close second, but everything else falls to a distant something else. It's fast, it's clean, it's straightforward, it's *extremely* configurable, and I can use it from anywhere I can get an SSH prompt. I have recently come across elmo, and will be giving it a try in the coming months. While your statement may be true (!features != security), mutt has more features than any other MUA in the list. But it is also, by far, the most secure MUA I've used -- no direct tie-in to the OS, no dependance on any vulnerable applications, no auto-run of code, etc. - Damian _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
